Abstract
Beck compares patching and atropine sulfate as treatments for moderate amblyopia in children 18 months after completion of a 6-month randomized trial. At 2 years, visual acuity in the amblyopic eye improved from baseline a mean of 3.7 lines in the patching group and 3.6 lines in the atropine group. Atropine or patching for 6 months followed by best clinical care until 2 years produced similar improvement of moderate amblyopia in children between 3 and 7 years of age at enrollment.
